  Curriculum Information

The program is designed to satisfy the needs of students with undergraduate degrees in areas other than business administration, as well as those with business administration degrees. The MBA Program consists of 57 credit hours; 24 credit hours of Foundation Core Courses; and 33 credit hours of Advanced Core Courses. Foundation Core Courses are to be completed before taking any Advanced Core Courses.
The preparatory (foundation core) courses are intended to provide the background needed by students with degrees in areas other than business for successful study at the graduate level. All 4400-level courses may be waived for AACSB business undergraduates, with a grade of "C" or better. The 4400-level foundation core courses are not counted as graduate credit and must be taken before any of the graduate-level courses.
The required courses in the Advanced Core ensure that students receive a breadth of training in all important business areas, while the elective courses offer the student flexibility of choice consistent with career objectives.

MBA Curriculum Sheet

Throughout the MBA Program, emphasis is placed on the development of problem-solving and decision-making abilities. To that end, illustrative cases and business simulation are utilized in the classroom in conjunction with traditional lecture techniques. The MBA Program capstone, "Seminar in Business Policies," integrates the functions of all fields of business administration. Taken in a student's final semester, the course emphasizes strategy development and implementation and is designed to give students the top management viewpoint of the operation of a business enterprise. Students may choose from a variety of concentrations.
